Activities

There are numerous activities for guests of all ages to enjoy all over Beara. Take the breath-taking Ring of Beara trip. This can be done in your own car - or by booking a tour with Beara Cabs to bring you. Start off by visiting Castletownbere and the ruins of O'Sullivan Bere's Castle alongside the ruins of Puxley's Mansion, burnt by the IRA in the earlly 1900's. Continue onwards towards Garnish to visit the Cable Car at Dursey, gaze at the open Atlantic Ocean and the wonderful rugged scenery. Stop off in Allihies for a swim in the golden sandy beach, then some light refreshments in the village before continuing over the hills to Urhan and the picturesque village of Eyeries. On to Ardgroom via Kilcatherine and onward to Lauragh, going over the Healy Pass Road into Adrigole before heading back to Castletownbere again to watch the boats enter and leave the harbour. Our advice would be to take at least 2 days to do this full trip - to ensure you take in all the sights and places of interest to visit... and then there is Bere Island - where you can either bring your car on either ferry - or travel on foot and walk the 7 miles stopping off to enjoy the many historical sites there. There are numerous Beara Way Walking & Cycling Routes to explore also. Bicycles can be hired out at Bikes 'n Beara.

There is a Sailing and Power-Boating School in Adrigole or Kayaking and Canoeing at the pebble beach in Tralahan in Castletownbere or Diving trips. For those of you who wish to take in the sea air - but without all the physical work - take a sea-angling trip on either the MV's 'Obsession' or Tigger, who also do guided shore angling. Try deep-sea angling for Tuna on board the 'Silver Dawn'.

A round of golf at Berehaven Golf Club with stunning views of Bantry Bay. Tenis and Crazy Golf are also available here. Pay a visit to our heritage museum Call of the Sea or visit one of the many art galleries that are in Beara. Have yourself pampered at Irises - Health, Beauty & Thalassotherapy Centre. Just a sample of what there is to do and see in Beara.
